'State economy not doing all that bad, Fed economist says'
(Norfolk Daily News) -- Compared to the national economy, Nebraska's economy is doing well. Jason Henderson, Federal Reserve Bank vice president in Omaha, said Monday evening that the Nebraska economy is doing well in many areas, but the farm areas are "putting us over the top." Housing, construction and job growth are some of the areas in which Nebraska's economy has been outperforming the national economy, Henderson said. Part of it has been because Nebraska has been fiscally conservative, he said. Henderson said Nebraska is enjoying a surge in manufacturing exports, specifically food and machinery.
